I am a big fan of Marcus Samuelsson. I have been to Red Rooster before, but I have never eaten there. The last time I just came for coffee at the bar. This time I decided to stop in for the prix fixe lunch during Harlem Week. I sat in the front where they have the communal dining tables and the bar. The photos will give you almost a 360 of the front of the restaurant.
Look at the woodwork on that bar... and those stools.
I happen to like this wall chock full o' stuff.
I sat right next to this beautiful quilt. I could not fit the entire thing into my frame unless I stood out in front of everyone and shot while they ate (which I was not about to do).
I chose the market greens salad for my first course. The other choice was a gingered carrot soup. The salad was extremely fresh and tasty. At the top of the frame you can see the cornbread which came with honey butter and a tomato jam which was so good. I had never had one before and I really liked the sweet and savory mixture. I am going to try and make some at home.
I was completely stuffed already. Dessert was a choice between banana and red velvet cupcake with vanilla ice cream. Yes, I rolled myself out of there and headed for the airport.
